The Invergordon Archive

Football Team Image

I wonder if anyone can help with identifying the location, occasion, people and date associated with this photo that came into my possession recently.
The location is fairly straightforward as it appears to be taken at the corner of the Recreation Ground on Academy Road looking over the railway line towards the tanks. What I find a little strange is that only one tank is visible and I would have expected to see more to the centre and left of the image. Interestingly the image was not taken on the playing surface as the grass is far too long!
The occasion is likely pre/post football match between unknown teams (Invergordon may have been involved?). My father may have been involved with Dingwall Thistle at the time but I thought that their strip had vertical stripes.
The only person that I can identify is my late father, David Mackay from Alness, back right. Other than him I don’t recognise any of the other faces. The date is probably early 1950s.

It would be great to find out more about this wonderful image.
